Status Bar not Displaying, just Plus SignSupport

I have been trying to figure this out for days and have been stumped. I used to get notifications to the top left of the phone with little icons until recently. Now I just get a white box with a triangle on the left with a plus sign, and no notification messages.

I do have multiple apps installed, but I haven't installed anything recently that I believe could impact how that is used. The only thing that is different is that I do have multiple notifications for calendar events in the notification menu drop down (Which shows), and I'm not sure if that is too much or even how to turn off notification for a single calendar event after its been triggered.
